What are the Different Types of Rolling Mills?

The rolling mill is mainly a kind of equipment for rolling metals. It can not only arrange according to the parts rolls but also differentiate according to the main arrangement of the stand. The main product classifications are as follows:

1. First, two-roll mill, the biggest feature of this mill is very simple in structure and has a wide range of uses. It can be divided into reversible or irreversible type. Reversible type mainly includes blooming mill, plate mill, and rail beam mill. The irreversible rolling mill can be divided into laminated thin plate rolling mill, strip rolling mill, continuous slab rolling mill and thin plate rolling mill. If classified according to this form, there are four-roll mill, six-roll mill, three-roll mill, and five-roll mill.

2. Planetary rolling mill mainly uses two large-diameter supporting rolls to drive two sets of planetary roll systems. Whether flat ingots or slabs, they can be directly rolled into thin strips at one time. If continuous caster can be directly used in the front process and temper mill is used in the back process, the production process of hot strip steel can be effectively simplified. 

3. Universal rolling mill is mainly composed of vertical roll and flat roll, and all its accessories are basically driven by power, so it can be used in slab or flat steel rolling for many times.
